The cost of immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 (last known calculation by Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University) was a NET (after
subtracting taxes immigrants pay), $70 Billion per year. [What are the 2006 costs?]

The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average illegal alien is $55,000 cost to the American taxpayer in a 5-year span.
You personally pay $11,000 every year to illegal aliens.

JOBS (per Center for Immigration Studies - September 2006): Between 2000 and 2005, 4.1 million immigrant workers arrived in the U.S., accounting for
86% of the net inrease in the total number of employed persons (16 & older), the highest share ever recorded in the U.S. Of the 4.1 million, between
1.4 and 2.7 million are estimated to be illegal aliens. Also, between 2000 and 2005, the number of young (16 to 34) native-born men employed declined
by 1.7 million - at the same time, the number of new male immigrant workers increased by 1.9 million. [Do you still believe the gov't employment rate
stats?]

ACTION: Please share this data with elected officials, particularly those who spew the PCBS about all the "contributions of illegal aliens to our
society" AND "our economy would collapse without them"! However, NONE of this will matter IF our borders are not secured OR Pres. Bush succeeds in
abolishing them (via his SPP, NAU, NAFTA Hwy), and illegal alien murders, drug smugglers and terrorists continue to be welcomed into our country

The problem with both sides of the illegal immigration debate is that both sides are not willing to recognize the costs and benefits illegal aliens
bring. The Lou Dobbs' of the world want to round up and deport every illegal alien, which could not be practically done, and if it could, it would
be disastrous to our economy. On the other hand, pro-illegal immigrant groups want anything and everything to be allowed to come across the border.
We need a policy that maximizes the benefits these workers bring while minimizing the cost.

I am all for having *LIMITED* numbers of people coming here working the jobs US Citzens would not work, as is the case at the moment. (Except at the
moment, there is no control of the numbers of people coming here.) If such people cause any trouble though, they should be deported. We should not
have significant numbers of illegal aliens in our jails or prisons, nor should we have illegal aliens free loading off our welfare system.

In short, the border should open, nor should there be a wall. Our border needs a filter which will let in that which we need and keep out the riff
raff.
